The Next Hotspot – Colombia

We’ve just gotten our Colombia section of the site up, starting off with some top luxury hotels in Colombia that meet our criteria.

A few of the reviews are from Richard McColl, a writer who lives in this country. Fittingly, he penned this piece for another site: Why Colombia is not as Dangerous as You Think.

We also like this Colombia piece that ran a couple years ago in Perceptive Travel: Dangerous Minds.

It takes a while for old perceptions to change, but Colombia is not the same country as it was five or ten years ago and the country has a lot to offer in terms of landscapes, beaches, food, and music. If you want to go somewhere on the cusp, a place not yet flooded with other tourists but with a constantly improving infrastructure, this is a good bet.

Colombia has moved from being a hotspot for the wrong reasons to being a hotspot for the right ones.

    I just got back from two weeks in Colombia and am glad to see people waking up to the potential there. The difference between what it’s like now and what it was like the last time I visited–in the mid-90s–is like night and day. I didn’t miss the crowds though. It’s paradise compared to the over-commercialized atmosphere of say, Costa Rica.
